$1 Mil for Municipal Elections!
…and this municipal election comes with a hefty price tag. The price associated with the enhanced safety measures, which had to include personal protective equipment, took up the cost.
Josephine Tamai, Chief Elections Officer
“When it comes to conducting an election and especially when it comes to COVID, it will take roughly a million dollars. When it comes to the budget, basically that is what we had requested and I will tell you that the budget was supported because we have to provide additional materials especially when it comes to COVID because we have to provide the P.P.E. this time around.”
